increase kick risk

[Spawny]

Exactly my thoughts.

Besides let's do not forget if a shielder is concerned of getting kicked in duels, he may actually try to use the thrust attack before complaining here. Assuming you have a sword, or stablike weapon. In my opinion, axes, maces and picks make weak duelling weapons that they have short reach and no thrust attack already. So use them in crowded servers more often.

Have you ever tried stabbing someone with a 1h and get blocked? The blockstun is huge...

Welcome to 1h dueling

Yup, 1h dueling keeping me frustrated since may 2010.

Kicks? ha. I have RARELY been kicked on battle or siege as a 1h. Why? way too dangerous. No one is willing to stay still to risk a kick in a melee. Heck, not even in melee, even in 1vs1 battle, only the top do that.

I bet you haven't been alive at the end of a round much, as 1v1 duels happen quite often then. As soon as you block a few hits, the enemy realizes you're not a noob and the "duel mode" starts.

And it's still the least frustrating one. Slow polearms and two-handers have worse stun than the one-handers which are in average a lot faster.

Even then someone with enough agi and a long polearm/2h will be able to attack 2-3 times per your attack quite often.

Mostly because of stun (if you're using it without shield). If you don't want your one handed weapon stunned by greatswords, use Military Cleaver (best 1H weapon imho).

Military Cleaver is damaging, but it's also slow, short and has a big ass model that is easy to block.

We all love big ass models, dont we?

[Ujin]

as a shielder who likes to kick from time to time, i think it should stay as it is.


p.s. fix the 1h stab instead, ty =)

Don't fix what ain't broken

you could say it ain't broken, but i still wish it glanced a bit less when i don't really control it enough

[Vexus]

1h stab needs some fix, even with my loomed long espada 31 pierce I sometimes glance too.

[Son Of Odin]

Kato made 1h character and I've been trying to beat him in duels ever since.

If he has even a little bit of trying in his playing he is winning me every time (if I don't get really lucky and get one hit in and chainpolestun + kick him to death .) He just blocks my every attack. No matter what I do he is going to win if he keeps his cool and just blocks my attacks. No chambers or anything fancy. He can hit me before I am able to block after my strike, even if I'm going for the block as fast as I can. I can't kick him without polestunning him first.

1h without shield is op in duels...

[Fartface]

Nah man I dont get hit by 5% of the strikes coming, ADHD just provides with way to fast reflexes.
Only chance you get is to hit me from the side when kickslashing so you got like a 0.5 second to do that , and most of the time you wont even get to my side as I will generaly always kickslash in the right dirrection . They have to make you stay immobile for a bit longer after a kick right now It's just to easy and to low risk.

1h stab glances pretty much every time unless you execute it nearly perfectly. It's ridiculous that I have to spin 1h as much as I have to spin 2h (or even more) for the stab to succeed, if the positioning isn't perfect. I thought short range would help with that, it doesn't.

Not in duels. One of the worse 1hs to use in a duel. Three attack directions, very short. No-go. Good in battle though.

thats the complete opposite of what I'm experiencing at the moment. I'm using a MW Langes with 5 ps and I have yet to glance with a stab

Try stabbing more than that one time
